How do I do historical research on a house and property in the Overbrook neighborhood of Phladelphia?
I've been able to find a name of one of the past owners, but are there any resources you could direct me to for more information?
Answer
Here are some additional resources for you:
Since you have one name, look over resources for family historians:

Since you have the address of the property, you can plug that address into Philly History GeoNetwork tools here. (use the search bar on the upper left of page).
This nifty tool will take one address or location and search through several old maps at once.
